Why I Quit My £150K Job

[@native5647]

I can't imagine the feelings you had when you realized that you are earning way more then your parents ever earned and this is only the beginning your parents should be proud of raising a kid like you brother.

[@tahir2061]

JazakAllah for sharing, i would love to quit my 9-5 but as you mention, there needs to be some saftey nets in place. I think growing wealth isnt necessarily easy working in a corporate job (unless you're quite senior) but by observation, entreprenaurs seem to have a better chance maybe ?

[@alib7489]

Subscribed. Alhamdulillah really enjoy learning from your content. I would suggest you ignore replying to trolls who are accusing you of committing major sins etc just because you used to be a lawyer - a job you have already quit anyway!

I think everyone should have some kind of skill so they can utilise it to help society. Even if a person gets wealthy through other streams of income, such as investment or business. They should never quit their profession as that is what gives back to the community.

Ibrahim, Shukran for answering the question many of us were asking. You’ve laid it out succinctly (as per usual). There are a few questions I’d like to relay to you for some additional insights to things you spoke of. Which email address is preferable to use for sending enquiries to you and Mohsin?

Is bankruptcies islamic halal? Under uk law if you cannot repay your consumer debt like bank loans, after death it's written off please share your islamic view on this topic.

[@Mr.GeeKhan786]

Interesting. Definitely worth trying to break out and do something on your own in your 20s - that is the time of life to take risks which may or may not pay off but I personally wouldn’t recommend it from around 35 onwards especially if you are a high earner at that point . If you are making 150k+ in a stable job for many years then you can invest your way to financial independence and for me that is the ultimate goal.

[@abirhossain183]

The biggest question is, the fiat money that is made of debt and interest on each piece of money, printed or digital, our very form of currency is haram and as such don't it make whatever we do with haram currency, haram as well? We are unwillingly involved in debt and interest payment that mathematically none of us can ever pay back. And we unwillingly again are involved in debt and interest where interest is haram and debt of this is such that we can never really pay them off as its mathematically impossible so we will be in debt to someone for this money and according to Islam whoever doesn't fulfil their debt before they die, are in for great torment. On top of that this haram based money we use, makes our everything haram. And one prerequisite for getting our worship and doa accepted is to not eat haram wear haram live haram sleep haram earn haram. So doesn't this haram based money system of the west, ruined us all? And isn't the first way out is to create and start using a halal form of money or currency first and foremost?

[@afzaalkhan2010]

as Salaam o alaikum, jaza-k-Allah khair How is it possible to communicate with you & Mohsin directly? I had written to you via your website several weeks ago and was offered a 10 minutes slot to speak to ifg. I may have booked the slot for July/August but may have missed the slot, please excuse me. I am looking to invest and be actively involved in making the investment grow. Please suggest a way I can communicate with ifg directly and confidentially at the earliest.

there's absolutely no reason for showing women without hijab (or any women at all) in your videos with those stock footages, that is specially shocking from someone who has memorised the quran, men should lower their gaze, and here you are showing young women every few seconds, you are getting sins for showing the thousands of people, and we as well are getting sins.

Being a lawyer who goes to court is Shirk akbar. They take part in tahaakum helping to settle disputes by other than the law of Allah using the tawāgheet. Tawba must be made whoever doesnt is a mushrik.

[@abelievereverrising283]

May Allah bless you brother. This video is not even talking about Criminal law. It's talking about corporate law. It is better to refrain from commenting on that which one has no knowledge about. May Allah guide you and me and all of us.

[@adampatel3132]

@@abelievereverrising283 A Muslim should not go to secular courts whether it be for marriage, divorce, commercial law, labour or employment or crime and punishment. The ulama have spoken about this widely refer to works on تحاكم إلى طاغوت tahaakum to the taghut.

[@IFGuru]

@adam get off KZbin really quickly then. You've literally signed up to Terms and Conditions with KZbin governed by Taghut Law. You agreed to be bound by the tawaghit. Also same applies for your laptop too when you bought it with the sales contract. If you'd like to purify your earnings I am happy to take receipt of your laptop. 😉

[@adampatel3132]

@@IFGuru Well that shows your lack of understanding of Tahaakum. It is settling disputes between 2 parties using 3rd party with the use of other than Islamic law. Agreeing to terms and conditions of an app is not included in that nor is buying a product using a contract. Nor have ulama ever said the masaail above are included in tahaakum. Only someone ignorant of this masala would say that. An-Nisa' 4:65 English - Sahih International But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muḥammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission. English - Tafsir ibn kathir فَلَ وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you judge in all disputes between them, Allah swears by His Glorious, Most Honorable Self, that no one shall attain faith until he refers to the Messenger for judgment in all matters. Thereafter, whatever the Messenger commands, is the plain truth that must be submitted to inwardly and outwardly. Allah said, ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُواْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيمًا and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. meaning:they adhere to your judgment, and thus do not feel any hesitation over your decision, and they submit to it inwardly and outwardly. They submit to the Prophet's decision with total submission without any rejection, denial or dispute. Al-Bukhari recorded that Urwah said, "Az-Zubayr quarreled with a man about a stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's Messenger said to Az-Zubayr, اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ثُمَّ أَرْسِلِ الْمَاءَ إِلى جَارِك O Zubayr! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your neighbor. The Ansari became angry and said, `O Allah's Messenger! Is it because he is your cousin?' On that, the face of Allah's Messenger changed color (because of anger) and said, اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ ثُمَّ أَرْسِلِ الْمَاءَ إِلى جَارِك Irrigate (your garden), O Zubayr, and then withhold the water until it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms). Then, release the water to your neighbor. So, Allah's Messenger gave Az-Zubayr his full right when the Ansari made him angry. Before that, Allah's Messenger had given a generous judgment, beneficial for Az-Zubayr and the Ansari. Az-Zubayr said, `I think the following verse was revealed concerning that case, فَلَ وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them."' Another Reason In his Tafsir, Al-Hafiz Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Abdur-Rahman bin Ibrahim bin Duhaym recorded that Damrah narrated that; two men took their dispute to the Prophet, and he gave a judgment to the benefit of whoever among them had the right. The person who lost the dispute said, "I do not agree." The other person asked him, "What do you want then?" He said, "Let us go to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq." They went to Abu Bakr and the person who won the dispute said, "We went to the Prophet with our dispute and he issued a decision in my favor." Abu Bakr said, "Then the decision is that which the Messenger of Allah issued." The person who lost the dispute still rejected the decision and said, "Let us go to Umar bin Al-Khattab." When they went to Umar, the person who won the dispute said, "We took our dispute to the Prophet and he decided in my favor, but this man refused to submit to the decision." Umar bin Al-Khattab asked the second man and he concurred. Umar went to his house and emerged from it holding aloft his sword. He struck the head of the man who rejected the Prophet's decision with the sword and killed him. Consequently, Allah revealed, فَلَ وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ (But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith)

[@IFGuru]

I would recommend you actually (a) watch the video rather than randomly make comments. This is nothing to do with criminal law anyway and (b) have a read of KZbin T&Cs (and any other T&Cs in the west). You will have 100% agreed to be bound by Non Muslim courts in that. Kinda ironic. (C) it's a pretty heavy claim to declare someone has committed shirk akbar. I'm assuming you're a major mufti to be able to definitively and emphatically conclude on these matters.

[@aqibmohammed4945]

Isn't being a lawyer like haram, u would have to do some risky stuff no? Obviously not like directly haraam, but u might do things in the job which is questionable?

[@hdzrmn1744]

Can you give examples pls, I'm looking into going into this profession and whenever someone suggests this notion, it seems as though they're have some sort of misconception that all lawyers are meant to lie to back their clients when being a defense attorney is only one of the hundreds of professions in the law department, most of which are solicitors in things such as land, family,etc.
